Trove of unseen photos shows Gerda Taro and Robert Capa in action

Gerda Taro is photographed from behind on June 12, 1937 as she snaps the Dabrowski battalion during a tribute in Valencia to Hungarian General Lukacs (Máté Zala), who had died a few days earlier at the Huesca front during the Spanish Civil War. The moment was captured by Emilio Rosenstein, a Jewish Pole who fled to Paris in 1928 to escape the anti-Semitism of universities back home and study abroad.
